Ah, inflammation. It does such a good job of gumming up the works of just about everything in the body. Today we'll start a series learning more about inflammation, what it does to our fertility, and what to do about it.

Why should you care about reducing inflammation? Because it can disrupt your hormonal system as well as cause blockages in your fallopian tubes and uterus, thus preventing pregnancy.

Let's start with the 4 pillars of reducing inflammation, according to my new fav mentor, Dr. Datis Kharrazian. These are:

1. Correcting blood sugar imbalances

2. Getting the right fatty acids

3. Correcting gastrointestinal infections and food sensitivities

4. Clearing detoxification pathway hindrances

4. Overeating carbs

5. Lack of sleep
